How can I find out a files "mime
Is there a way to find out the MIME-TYPE (or is it called "Content-Type"...) of a file in a linux bash script?
The reason I need it is because imageshack appears to need it to upload a file as for some reason it detects the .png file as an "application/octet-stream"…
I'v checked the file, and it really is a .png
$ cat /1.png
?PNG
(with a heap load of random characters)
This gives me the error:
$ curl -F "fileupload=@/1.png" http://www.imageshack.us/upload_api.php

<error id="wrong_file_type">Wrong file type detected for file 1.png:application/octet-stream</error>
</links>
This works, but I need to specify a MIME-TYPE.
$ curl -F "fileupload=@/1.png;type=image/png" http://www.imageshack.us/upload_api.php
Use file . Examples:
> file --mime-type image.png
image.png: image/png
> file -b --mime-type image.png
image/png
> file -i FILE_NAME
image.png: image/png; charset=binary
one of the other tool (besides file) you can use is xdg-mime
eg xdg-mime query filetype query filetype <file>
if you have yum,
yum install xdg-utils.noarch
An example comparison of xdg-mime and file on a Subrip(subtitles) file
$ xdg-mime query filetype subtitles.srt
application/x-subrip
$ file --mime-type subtitles.srt
subtitles.srt: text/plain
in the above file only show it as plain text.
file version < 5 : file -i -b /path/to/file
file version >=5 : file --mime-type -b /path/to/file
